Both silver and gold provided some excellent returns last year. In the month of December silver performed especially well. A strong December finish gave silver an outstanding 84 percent return for 2010. Gold recorded its 10th straight year with positive returns. The question is, where do we go from here?

In the last week or so, the Comex was forced to admit that there were only 170,000,000 ounces of silver, but there were 720,000,000 ounces of silver that were under contractual obligations. Four individuals demanded delivery of 1,000,000 ounces of silver in late December. Perhaps this is one good reason for December’s strong finish in silver. The U.S. Mint had the largest in history monthly sale in December of 2,220,000 ounces of silver. In the first 12 days of January, 2011, the U.S. Mint sold 3,407,000 ounces of silver. The demand for silver is still very strong!

So with the strong surge the silver experienced towards the end of next year, why is silver dropping off today? Of course no commodity or investment goes straight up. The correction that is now under way in silver for the long term is very healthy. While both gold and silver been in corrective mode this month, they’ve only declined marginally while shedding the speculative “hot” money that in fact, continues to reside in other markets. Moreover, as the economic recovery stagnates and more monetization is forced on the US and other governments, the bull market in silver and gold will resume.

Silver is often viewed as “poor man’s gold”, true currency that goes back 5000 years. With the government debt as high as it is in the U.S. and the rest of the world, silver will indeed hold much value as money.

Besides the fact that silver is a true hard currency, silver also has numerous industrial uses. Most of the industrial use is cutting edge for our future. There are 1000′s of ounces of silver used for anti bacterial purposes for clean drinking water, food and medical use. Silver is also used extensively in cell phones and most electronics. Solar energy uses a great deal of silver as well. In all cases, unlike gold, silver is used and depleted and is not recoverable. The demand side of silver is very significant. There are some statistics from the U.S. geological studies indicating that just with the current demand for silver, all known mineable silver will be consumed in just 29 years. This is extremely bullish for silver in the long term!

So while the speculators and traders are today trying to buy and sell on the dips of the market, the real question might be can you get your hands on some? If only a small percentage of the public wakes up to the upside of silver, money will come out of stocks and bonds in favor of the premier hard assets, gold and especially silver. At today’s price silver is a bargain. Get your hands on some today while you still can!

The official silver bullion coin of the United States is the American Eagle. Originally minted in 1986 by the US Mint, the Silver American Eagle Coin is comprised of 99.9% pure silver with a weight of one troy ounce and has a nominal face value of one dollar. It was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act and it’s weight and purity are certified by the United States Mint.  There have been 3 versions of the Silver Eagle released for investors and collectors.  There is the Bullion Silver Eagle, the Proof Silver Eagle and the Uncirculated Silver Eagle.

The very first Silver Eagle Coin was struck in San Francisco on October 29th 1986. The minting was presided over by the Secretary of The Treasury James A. Baker III at the San Francisco Assay Office.  The event was dubbed the San Francisco Silver Rush of 1986.

The Bullion Eagle was originally minted from 1986-1998 at the San Francisco Mint and do not bear any mint mark. Then in 1999 for two years they were minted at bothe the Philadelphia Mint and the West Point Mint. However, since 2001 the coins have exclusively been minted at the West Point Mint in West Point, NY.

The Proof Silver Eagle originally was minted through the San Francisco Mint and had the “S” mint mark from 1986-1992. From there they moved to the Philadelphia Mint and were struck with a “P” mint mark. They remained there until 2001 when they made the move to the West Point Mint which is where they are still being minted today with the “W” mint mark. There was no 2009 Proof Silver Eagle but again in 2010 the Proof coin returned still minted out of West point.

Uncirculated Silver Eagle coins were minted from 2006-2008 and designed by the US Mint for collectors. The coins were struck at the West Point Mint using burnished blanks.  Sometimes referred to as W Uncirculated or Burnished Uncirculated, these coins have been out of production since 2008.

==> SPECIAL RELEASE

There have also been a few Special Issue Silver Eagle Series released.

1993 saw the release of the Philadelphia Set which was issued to commemorate the bicentennial of the very first striking of American Coins at the Philadelphia Mint.

In 1995 there was a West pint Mint issued Silver Eagle issued along with the Philadelphia Mint release. This coin is known as the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle and was sold as a part of the 10th Anniversary American Eagle 5 Coin Set. The set also included Proof Gold Eagles in 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz sizes.  A very limited number of these sets were produced and they continue to be a highly desired piece.

2000 brought the United States Millennium Coinage and Currency Set that had a 2000 Silver Eagle Bullion Coin minted at the West Point Mint but without the “W” mint mark.It also included a 2000 Denver mint released Sacagawea Dollar and an uncirculated 1999 one dollar bill. There were only 75,000 sets minted and less than twenty are known to contain Sacagawea dollars that do not have a burnished finish.

In early 2004 the US Mint issued the Legacies of Freedom United States and United Kingdom Silver Bullion Coin Set. The set contained of a 2003 bullion Silver Eagle and a 2002 Silver Britannia bullion coin from the United Kingdom.

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the American Silver Eagle program in 2006, the United States Mint released a very special Reverse Proof Silver Eagle coin form the Philadelphia Mint.  This Reverse Proof coin was available as part of a set that also included the standard Proof Silver Eagle and the new Burnished Uncirculated Silver Eagle coins. The Silver Reverse proof features a frosted background and mirrored surfaces.

The Uncirculated Silver Eagles were also issued with the 20th Anniversary Gold and Silver Eagle Set which had an extremely low issue of only 20,000 sets.
2007 and 2008 had the uncirculated Silver Eagle coins packaged with each years Philadelphia minted Presidential Dollars and Denver minted Sacagawea dollars in the start of the Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set.

==> SILVER EAGLE DESIGN

The design of the United States Silver Eagle’s obverse side was taken from the Walking Liberty which had originally been used for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916-1947. It became one of the most iconic American Silver Coin designs and was a favorite of the American public. For that reason, the design was brought back for the Silver Eagle Bullion coin with the year of release, LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST being added.

The reverse design has a heraldic eagle behind a shield grasping an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left. It is holding a banner in its beak that is inscribed with E PLURBIS UNIM. It also has 13 stars representing the 13 original Colonies as well as UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1oz FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR as well as the mint mark when there is one.

From its original minting to today, the Silver Eagle American Bullion Coin remains one of the most desired and collected coins in not only the American Silver Coin series but of all of the US minted bullion coins. With special releases, yearly mintings and even the odd error popping up Silver Eagles are a great choice for every collector.

It’s no secret that all commodities from oil, corn, wheat, gold and silver prices have been soaring the past couple of years. There are of course many reasons to this from governments printing money that is highly inflationary, safe havens of money and plain old supply and demand. So with commodity prices soaring, how does the average investor get on board? It’s just not practical for the average person to buy and store a barrel of oil or a bushel of oil for investment purposes.

Buying and holding gold or silver is easy. Gold and silver coins are portable, they do not spoil and are easily stored. Gold has for years, has been held in the highest regard as the most precious metal. For over 5000 years silver and gold have been used as money and jewelry. Over that time gold has been more scarce than silver and thus the price of gold has historically been many times higher that silver. While many people have invested in gold and still do in a big way today, there is one aspect that silver has that gold does not. Silver is used extensively in industrial use.

There are very few investors that realize the uniqueness of silver’s dual role. Because silver as recently as 1965 was used as circulated coins, most people still assume that the formerly abundant resource is the same today. The truth is since 1940, 90% of the world’s silver stockpiles have been depleted. In fact, according to the US Geological Surveys, all of the known silver will be depleted in less than 29 years!

In today’s economy, silver is used extensively as an anti-bacterial for water, food and the medical field. Silver is also one of the best semiconductors used in cell phones, laptops and in all electronics. As the demand for solar technology increases, so does the demand for silver. The fact that silver was cheap for years has made it the perfect industrial metal, in which today, there is not any real substitutes. Unlike gold that is hoarded as a precious metal, silver is used and not recoverable.

When you look at the supply vs. demand in silver it is amazing that very few investors know how little silver available there actually is. In fact over the last decade, silver has been one of the best investments available. What will happen to the silver price when more people start to realize that silver represents the “investment opportunity of a lifetime”?

Despite the tremendous gains that silver has experienced the last decade, silver is still vastly unappreciated. For those of us who really understand the fundamental principles of silver, the biggest gains are still ahead. One thing to keep in mind, once more of the public becomes more aware, silver will be very difficult to obtain. Don’t wait! Get your hands on physical silver today while you can.

Silver jewelry has been adorning people for some 4,000 years. That’s what makes it a classic look for today and tomorrow.

Silver was first mined 4,000 years ago in what is now called Turkey. For a long

time, Turkey was the dominant supplier, but the mantle was later passed to Greece and then Spain. Today, the honor belongs to Peru and Mexico, which are said to mine 75 percent of today’s silver.

But no matter where the silver for your jewelry is mined, you know you can trust this precious metal. Today’s most popular silver is called sterling silver, which is actually just 92.5 percent silver. The silver is mixed with a small amount of copper, zinc or nickel for a good reason. This strengthens the naturally soft silver and makes it far more durable. You definitely want other metals in your silver to be sure your jewelry stands the test of time and wear.

Silver is used to make all types of jewelry – necklaces, bracelets, rings and charms. It comes in a highly lustrous finish, an oxidized finish or it can be coated in enamel. Silver works well with both precious and non-precious stones, sometimes giving the appearance of white gold at a far less expensive price. Silver can have a hammered finish, a texture or a smooth finish. Basically, silver is a very versatile material.

Here’s a look at how silver serves as the foundation for some classic pieces of jewelry:

·        The classic Byzantine sterling silver chain is made even better by grouping four Byzantine chains in one 7½-inch bracelet. If one is good, four is fabulous. The link chains are made of polished sterling silver. You will enjoy using its magnetic clasp when putting it on and taking it off. The bracelet is made in Italy.

·        You’ll see how versatile silver can be when it is molded into a unique shape, as was done with the Jade Bamboo Bangle bracelet. This set includes three bangles, each designed with a bamboo-motif. In the middle of the bangle is piece of green jade weighing about 14 ct. The bracelets, each 7½ inches, can be worn separately or stacked.

·        Another designer used sterling silver as a contrast to the Tiger Eye and cultured freshwater pearl used in an 8-inch bangle. The brown, tawny tiger eye bracelet is accented at both ends by a 9mm cultured freshwater pearl set in sterling silver. 

·        You can see how an enamel finish over sterling silver can create an eye-catching and durable hinged bracelet. In this case, the bracelet is made from an oxidized sterling silver and then coated with two shades of blue epoxy enamel. Set in the enamel are 108 faceted, round cut marcasite stones. The bracelet is 7 ¼ inches long and secured with a slide insert clasp.

·        Any jewelry collection should include a sterling silver Textured Dome Ring. It’s not a simple silver band around your finger, but a round, chunky band that works well with any look. Unlike a simple polished finish, this dome ring has a lustrous and fine texture, which takes it a step above. It is crafted in Italy.

·        Want a beautiful fake diamond ring to wear when you travel – or until you can afford the real thing? If you do, then a sterling silver ring with a round cut simulated diamond is the answer. It has all the sparkle of the real thing, but at a fraction of the cost. The ring has one large 6.5mm “diamond” in the middle, surrounded by 10 small round cut simulated diamonds in prong settings. The total stone weight is approximately 1.20ct. Best of all, because the band is sterling silver, it is a beautiful piece of jewelry in its own right and will wear well. The stone may not be the real thing, but the band is.

·        Few things are as classical as a sterling silver necklace set with diamonds. Hanging from an 18-inch rolo chain is a 1-inch by 1½ -inch rectangular pendant, crafted in sterling silver with black rhodium plated accents. The frame of the pendant and the filigree design within the frame sparkle with 89 single, round cut diamonds in prong and pave settings. The total diamond weight is about 0.50ct.

·        Jewelry designer Lambert Cheng combined 24 karat gold and sterling silver for a new classic necklace that can be worn by men or women. Hanging from an 18-inch sterling silver chain is a small 24 karat gold ingot that bears the Chinese symbols of love and happiness on either side. The ingot, about an inch tall, is set in sterling silver.

So you see, sterling silver jewelry is not limited to a chain or a wrap bracelet. It can be used in so many ways to create a classic piece of jewelry you will love and wear for years to come.

These days silver fashion jewelry is the first choice because of the advantages it has. It is the most budget friendly, affordable, trendy, shimmering and available in a huge variety of designs.

This kind of silver is very soft and has a glossy finish. Sterling Silver includes 92.5% silver. It is very hard. It is an enormously popular type of silver. German silver is also known as alpaca silver. It is an alloy made of a mixture of zinc, nickel and copper. Ornaments made of sterling silver has a ‘925′ mark which proclaims authenticity of the metal.

The 925 mark means you are getting real sterling silver, which consists of 92.5% pure silver, and 7.5% copper. This is because hundred percent pure silver cannot be shaped into complicated designs. Without creative designs, half the beauty of Silver is gone. Thus 925 Silver gives a major contribution.
